In this multimedia study set, Swami Lakshmanjoo, the fully realized philosopher saint of the long concealed and secret tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, reveals the heretofore hidden meanings contained within the unique Kashmiri version of the sacred text Bhagavad Gita, “The Song of God”.

 

In the Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna, God incarnate, instructs his disciple Arjuna about the world and the nature of life. Why is our mind torn by conflicting duties and loyalties? What is the main purpose of our life? How are we to be freed from the pain and suffering we experience living in this world?

 

Swami Lakshmanjoo, by expanding on the illumined commentary of Abhinavagupta, the Gitartha Samgraha (Essence of the Gita), answers these questions in the light of Kashmir Shaivism. Here he unveils the powerful and unknown teachings contained within the Bhagavad Gita. Swamiji tells us,“freedom from all our miseries, as Abhinavagupta boldly declares, can neither be obtained through the renunciation of the world, nor by hatred towards this world, but by experiencing the presence of God everywhere.”

 

At last, the secrets and profound meaning of the “Lord’s Song” is being made available for the spiritual illumination of all humankind.
